+# Benchmark Tooling
+
+Utilities for multi-model benchmarking workflows with AgentV.
+
+## split-by-target
+
+Splits a combined results JSONL file into one file per `target`, enabling pairwise comparison with `agentv compare`.
+
+### Usage
+
+```bash
+# Split into the same directory as the input file
+bun examples/features/benchmark-tooling/scripts/split-by-target.ts results.jsonl
+
+# Split into a specific output directory
+bun examples/features/benchmark-tooling/scripts/split-by-target.ts results.jsonl ./split-output
+```
+
+Given a combined `results.jsonl` containing records for targets `gpt-4.1` and `claude-sonnet-4`:
+
+```
+results.gpt-4.1.jsonl          (records where target == "gpt-4.1")
+results.claude-sonnet-4.jsonl  (records where target == "claude-sonnet-4")
+```
+
+### Filename Normalization
+
+Target names are normalized for safe filenames:
+
+| Target value | Output filename |
+|---|---|
+| `gpt-4.1` | `results.gpt-4.1.jsonl` |
+| `Claude Sonnet 4` | `results.claude-sonnet-4.jsonl` |
+| `azure/gpt-4o` | `results.azure-gpt-4o.jsonl` |
+
+### Downstream Compare Workflow
+
+After splitting, use `agentv compare` to perform pairwise model comparisons:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Run a matrix evaluation that produces a combined results file
+bun agentv eval my-eval.yaml
+
+# 2. Split results by target
+bun examples/features/benchmark-tooling/scripts/split-by-target.ts results.jsonl ./by-target
+
+# 3. Compare any two targets
+bun agentv compare ./by-target/results.gpt-4.1.jsonl ./by-target/results.claude-sonnet-4.jsonl
+
+# 4. JSON output for CI pipelines
+bun agentv compare ./by-target/results.gpt-4.1.jsonl ./by-target/results.claude-sonnet-4.jsonl --json
+```
+
+The `compare` command matches records by `test_id`, calculates score deltas, and classifies each as win/loss/tie. It exits non-zero on regressions, making it suitable for CI gates.
